POWER VENTING OVER VIEW

In the event of a vent route that is unsupported based on the Gravity Vent Tables shown in the Flare Install Manual,

Flare Fireplaces may use a power vent to accommodate any extremely long, or negative degree venting routes. The 3

power vent options allow the fireplace to operate in vent conditions that would not be possible without the powered

fan. When using the power vent system it is critical that the vent path remain completely sealed in order for the

power vent system to operate . The vent length and restrictor level should be set based on number of feet , number of

elbows, and the vent termination .

The Flare power vent system is an optional feature and can be used on a Flare Fireplace using Double Glass or our Invisible Mesh safety screen. It comes in 3 different models: End of Line Power Vent – Vertical End of Line Power Vent – Horizontal In-Line Power Vent The system is designed and tested with Duravent 3x5 gasket direct vent pipes. It is critical for the safety and operation of the system to use the Duravent 3x5 gasket system. See the link below for a Duravent catalog & vent parts with part numbers: http://duravent.com/docs/product/CVS_Catalog_Section_2016.pdf

All three Flare Power Vent systems can be installed with up to 6, 90 degrees, elbows with up to 100ft vent run. A minimum length of 12ft venting is required between the appliance. Do not install any power vent system if the minimum length is below 12ft. The three Power Vent systems can be installed with a maximum of 6ft vent run below the fireplace.

instructions will result in conditions which may produce bodily injury and/or property damage

MINIMUM COMBUSTIBLE CLEARANCES FROM VENT

VERTICAL TERMINATION

Please make sure clearances to combustible is maintained based on vent part used. Opening size will depend on the vent size/fireplace size and Duravent part # to be used.

VENT RESTRICTOR SETUP

Flare Fireplace direct vent system is equipped with a vent restrictor. Use the chimney path installation planning

chapter to determine what the vent restrictor setup should be for your installation.

Vent restrictor changes and setup should only be done by a certified installer

• The unit leaves the factory with the vent restrictor open.

• The vent restrictor is adjusted using a 10mm wrench below the front upper frame.

• The vent restrictor setting is from 1 (minimum restriction) to 6 (max restriction).

• The installer will document the restrictor setting in the end of the installation.

Restrictor not set right:

Restrictor position must be opened if the flame has the following characteristics:

• Flame is excessively tall and lifting.

• Flame lacks movement.

Restrictor position needs to be closed more if the flame has the following characteristics:

• Flame height is low.

• Flame has excessive movement

Document any change to the restrictor setting

Contact Flare Fireplaces for support if needed

POWER VENT ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

• The Flare Inline Power Vent system will require a separate 15A power outlet installed next to it. The

electrical line to the Power Vent must supply 120 Volts, 60 Hz, and 15 Amps (maximum draw). Dedicated

circuit for the Power Vent is recommended.

The appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local

codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.

Electrical contril connection to the PV system

• The PV system is connected to the Fireplace control system with a low voltage (6V) 3 wire cable.

• Cable to be used is 18 AWG-3 copper wire. Cable can be ordered from Flare or sourced from any

hardware store (18 AWG 4 wire can also be installed , use only 3 wires).

• Connect low voltage cable and match to colors on the terminal between the PV harnest .( White to

White, Black to Black & Green to Green)

• Fans and sensors on the main board are optional and will be included on double glass systems.

APPENDIX

• It is recommended that a qualified service technician perform a routine inspection at the beginning of

each heating season.

• Disconnect power before attempting maintenance or repair of the fireplace.

• Installation and maintenance must be performed by an authorized qualified installer, service agency

or gas supplier. • Any safety screen or guard removed for servicing placed back before operating this appliance. • DO NOT USE this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service

technician to inspect the unit and to replace any part of the control system and any gas valve that has

been under water or impacted.

• Any alteration to the product that causes soot or carbon to form and results in damage is not the

responsibility of the manufacturer.

• Do not modify or substitute any part of this appliance.

• Inspect the external vent cap on a regular basis to make sure that no debris, plants, trees, or shrubs

are interfering with the air flow.

• Do not operate the fireplace without the fireplace glass.

• It is imperative that control compartments, screens, or fans system for double glass be kept clean and

free of obstructions. These areas provide the air necessary for safe operation.

• Light the heater using the built-in igniter. Do not use matches or any other external device to light your

heater.

• Never remove, replace, modify or substitute any part of the heater unless instructions are given in

this manual. All other work must be done by a trained technician. Don't modify or replace orifices.

YEARLY SERVICE

Failure to inspect and maintain the fireplace may lead to improper combustion and a potentially dangerous situation. We recommend the following procedures be done by a qualified technician.

Glass Maintenance

• Always use suction cups to remove the fireplace glass. Use the manual procedure for instruction on how to remove the fireplace glass. Always use gloves when removing the glass to protect your hand and prevent finger prints on the glass.

• DO NOT USE abrasive cleaners on the glass panels. DO NOT ATTEMPT to clean the glass panels when they are hot.

• Do not use normal household (usually ammonia-based) glass cleaners to clean the glass as these cleaners can leave a permanent stain. Only a gas fireplace glass cleaner should be used.

• Verify no cracks or breakage in the glass.

• Place glass in a safe location to prevent breakage.

• Never attempt to operate the fireplace without the fireplace glass.

WARNING!

24 | P a g e

PILOT MAINTENANCE

• Visually inspect the pilot flame. The pilot flame should be always present when the fireplace is in operation.

• Make sure the pilot flame has two flame tips pointing to the flame sensor (thermocouple) and to the center of the burner.

• Make sure the pilot area is clean from any dust, media or any other debris that may disrupt the operation of the ignition system. Lint or foreign material must be removed with a brush or vacuum.

• Verify fireplace ignition using the remote or wall switch. Verify electronic ignition, sparking sequence, pilot operation and burner ignition.

BURNER MAINTENANCE

• The flames from the burner should be visually checked. The flame should have a blue base and yellow tops and be candle-like in appearance.

• If excessive soot is found inside the firebox area, the fireplace will require adjustment. Verify the air shutter and vent restrictor setting and document any changes.

• If the flame becomes sooty, dark orange in color, or extremely tall, do not operate the heater.

• Measure gas pressure. Inlet _______ W.C., Outlet _______ W.C.

VENT MAINTENANCE

The following venting system inspection by a qualified service technician is recommended every six months:

• Inspect for excessive condensation, e.g. water droplets forming in the inner lining and subsequently dripping

out of the joints. This can cause corrosion in the system.

• Check for corrosion in areas exposed to the elements. Where rust spots or holes have appeared, these must be immediately replaced.

• Ensure that there is no foreign material in the vents. Survey by removing the cap and shining a light down the vent.

• Check all joints and pipes to make sure that nothing has been disturbed or loosened.

DOUBLE GLASS FANS

• Disconnect power to the Flare control system.

• Remove the external glass and the covering trim.

• Inspect the fans around the Flare firebox and make sure they are all turning.

• Clean all fans with a brush and vacuum to remove any dust or debris.

• Inspect the lower fireplace intake. Clean the lower vent intake with a brush and vacuum any dust or debris.

• Connect back the Flare control power and press the Flare remote arrow down. Make sure all fans are working properly.

• Turn off the fans and install back the trim and glass.
